Okay, I feel we need a laptop thread here, so we can discuss the benefits/disadvantages of each laptop line.
If you vote, please state why. Personally I'm a fan of IBM for their superior construction, ergonomical design, and reliability. I feel they are worth the price premium, because in the end they can pay for themselves, because the repair costs total zero usually. Sure, you have to buy replacement Trackpoint Caps, but that's nothing. They're about $3 for a pack of 10, last time I checked.
Also, the IBM Trackpoint is the greatest laptop input device ever made by mankind. The competition's don't even compare, they have no precision, as well as a nasty feel to them.
I find it to be more precise than a touchpad, as well as quicker.
The Compaq LTE's come in a VERY close second. Every one I've used has been almost as good as an IBM, better in some respects, such as gaming. I miss my old LTE 4/75Cx dearly. 640x480 active matrix RULED for DOS games!
What's your favorite brand?
